Reusable Cloth Pads Before the invention of "convenience" products such as disposable menstrual pads, women used folded rags and cloths to manage their monthly flow. In consideration of problems such as chemical exposure and waste management of non-biodegradable single use products, these convenience products no longer seem so convenient. And, as with cloth diapers, cloth pads have been redesigned to make them easier to use.

ecomum pads Two piece pads in funky cotton flannel. Locally made (usually by ecomum, and son skye). Postpartum is long pad size, with extra liner. Can be special ordered in hemp/cotton fleece. Variety of patterns. Wings are sturdily secured around panties with metal or plastsic snaps. Cloth pads are useful for spotting, moderate - heavy flows, and for back-up for menstrual cups.

The inner liner can be taken out for lighter, panty liner use, or extra liners folded in to increase absorbancy.
